Former CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge is in talks to join X, The Post has learned.
The award-winning journalist — who was controversially fired by CBS News in February in a round of layoffs by corporate parent Paramount — met with X CEO Linda Yaccarino at The Jefferson Hotel in Washington, DC earlier this month, according to a source with knowledge.
The talks have been described as “preliminary.” A potential deal could see Herridge — known for her aggressive reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal — helm an investigative unit that she could help put together, according to a source close to the situation.
“We are in discussions with many content creators who are interested in joining X in various ways. Catherine Herridge is a great journalist who strongly supports free speech,” X said in a statement, declining to comment further.
